[MW:4117] Preparation of WPS

By Materials & Welding
Dear All
 
Recently I have qualified a WPS on 20mm thick plate of EN10025 S355J2G3 using GTAW for root pass and SMAW for subsequent passes in accordance with Lloyds Register Rule for ship building.  The test piece has undergone Tansverse tensile test (2), Side bends (4) Impact test (3 Sets)  at centre of the weld, fusionline and HAZ at -20deg.C, Macro and Hardness (1). PT and RT were carried out the test samples prior to drawing the destructive test samples.  all the tests are passed with the required values. Record of welding for each run is prepared and maintained.
 
consumable used are ER70-S2 and E-7018-1
Plate material properties are: Yield 357 N/MM2, UTS 541 N/MM2, El;  30% IMPACT at -20deg C; 53min, 81 Av.
C;0.18, Si: 0.35 Mn ;1.4, P    ;0.015, S : 0.002 Ce; 0.428
 
PQR as per the Lloyds rules is under preparation.
 
My question is whether I can prepare a WPS and PQR in accordance with ASME Sec. IX using the above records.
 
Regards

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
